I know it's very subjective but most people do not need to have a saddle so nose down to sit comfortably on a saddle. It's usually an indicator that the saddle height is too high. Maybe try lowering the seatpost and tilting the saddle up accordingly. It may be more comfortable and a lot more aesthetically pleasing to boot.

It could be that horrendous saddle bag.....was that fitted when you weighed it??

Nice bike otherwise!

EDIT: the saddle looks very far forward also....I would think you would do well with a zero setback seatpost and a flatter saddle position, but please verify with a proper fit.....a 10k+ bike deserves a $200 fit.

Kind of sad I posted here. Otherwise, thanks. Saddle is 1 cm ahead of center so not that far forward. Didn't weight it with saddle bag, nor with Garmin 800, but did have barfly 2 on. Weight is with pedals, cages, etc.

dont let those post get you down, you have an amazing bike. i love the wt of the frame, the look, the color just about everything. how does it ride? what have you ridden in the past and can you feel an aero difference? thanks and great bike

Thanks. My last bike is a 2006 cervelo r3. When I got that one I thought it was very responsive, stiff, light, etc. This feels like everything ( responsiveness, stiffness,) has been multiplied by 10. Its like the difference between the ride feel if a Lexus vs a Ferrari. Not sure about aero difference at this point. But it sure is a treat.

just wondering how long you have had it for? how many miles have you put on it? Just on a side note it is in my size so if you decide to upgrade in the future i want to be line to take it off your hands

Yea man, no need to take any of the comments to heart. It really is an incedibke bike. I used to own the R3-SL and it's my favorite bike to date. So only can imagine how good the RCA is.

And no need for a setback seatpost since its only 1cm from center. Having setback is usuallynbetter of then two as it will give you a more overall comfortable ride and provide better pedaling efficiency [source].
